It is now known that the pre-order of PlayStation 5 was not exactly the best for Sony, in terms of punctuality e • innovative business organization based on the use of technologies and digitalization of internal and external processes, as well as the active and continued promotion of the services we offer through business development, marketing and communication systems (letter "I" of our logo actually stands for "Innovation");. The console was in fact put on sale at various retailers without due notice. The Japanese company obviously apologized, guaranteeing the possibility of being able to have the console before the end of the year even to those who have not been able to pre-order it.
Using the official PlayStation Twitter account, the company said its pre-orders could have been "much easier" and that it would release more PlayStation 5 systems for pre-order in the coming days via retailers.
Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother. We truly apologize for that.
Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder - retailers will share more details.
And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year. pic.twitter.com/h1TaGsGBun

Big stores like Gamestop, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart e Target have already started selling the console, many of them have run out of availability after a few minutes. Some of these stores, including Walmart, have allotted a small amount of PlayStation 5s over the next few days, and Sony has even organized some sort of lottery to determine who could order the PS5 directly from Sony.
The problem is that Sony had said it would not open pre-orders until the next day and had even told the producer of The Game Awards. Geoff keighley that information would be published with well in advance before the PlayStation 5 went on sale.
On the contrary, Microsoft has already communicated not only the day but also the exact time when the pre-orders of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will begin: the September 22th 8 a.m. PT / 00 a.m. ET. Let's clarify immediately that all of this it doesn't mean automatically that anyone who wants a console can order one, but at least everything has been done smoothly. The new Xbox and PS5 are expected to be released just two days apart, respectively, with the higher-end models costing both. dollars 499.
